see ya

Well revising has gone pants :P I'm going to see if I can get my Dad to push me to do more of it since there's too many distractions in here.
I have a Nab tomorrow and then a supplementary prelim the next day! easy on! Supplementary prelims are evil since they're only there for appeals in case you don't appear at the exam or something. They rarely get used. Last nab tomorrow anyway then I think there might be some supplementary prelims for other subjects but they haven't been mentioned yet so hopefully the teachers will not go "SURPRISE!!! here do this supplementary prelim!".
I'm moving house this weekend so tidying up will be a bummer since it's in the way for this NAB and prelim. The move is only down the road to the building site for where our house will eventualy be but I might be out by the time it's up.
We're moving into a caravan which is crap, even though it's a big one I get the smallest room :I
Once in I will only have the computer as entertainment. This might stop me being distracted so much when revising and help me be more concentrated. I've decided that my last post before I go fo studying big time is going to be by the time we move at the weekend or whenever the internet is set up there. Hang on... an idea just hit me... maybe I shouldn't have the internet on the computer while studying big time. Yes, this could work.... I get taken away from revision by the internet. Taking the internet away from me leaves me with a lot less hassle. I can just watch dvd's as a treat after doing the revision at the end of the day.
Yes! folks, you've just witnessed me get an idea through text. This might just save me from failing these exams!!!!

Now, stuff to expect after the May:
a review of the Die Hard Quadrilogy
more interesting posts that have less text and more pictures
a proper animation - Angry Janitor 2 More Angry

So I guess this is my last post for now. Till next time then.

Yeah, I'm just posting whenever I feel like it now. I like making posts on here.

I will be making less posts on here (I better) since I have exams next month I need to concentrate on them. I'll make a post in May on the day I will have my first exam to let you be aware and tell you how I got on in it. After that the blog will be silent until the 5th of June. I better not think of what to do after the exams are over but instead look at getting them over first. This will be tough but I feel I have a good chance out of the 4 out of 5 subjects I'm taking. The other one that's not going too well isn't, to be honest, very useful for me and it isn't necessary. I failed it at Higher from the prelim and then got put down to Int. 2. I was told Int.2 will help me for higher next year on the subject. However, I thought about it and I think I don't really want to take it next year. Since I'm bad at it, I don't like the way it's run and the teacher hates me even though I show my respects. I don't know why the teacher hates me, it's a mystery to me. There is no point in taking a very challenging subject that I won't enjoy.
I have good plans for next year and I have plans for these exams. Time for them to go into action.

LIFE!

- a much more formal post from the Fedora Blog

Yes, italics look very posh. Posh indeed.
OK that's enough posh talk! Anyway I've decided to not just limit me to what I should and should not post but instead just post whatever I feel like. Also if any of you think there might be a more suitable layout for the blog or if you know how I can change the background of the blog please let me know.
Anyway I have some important stuff coming up right now. Very important indeed. It's the SQA Exams! ARGH! Curses! Not again! Well yes it's time to face them once again, just like many people around my age in Scotland. In a way I actualy knid of like this part of the year. You might be thinking - how on earth can someone like the exam period! - well it's because it's the time when everything comes together. It's the time when everyone is supporting each other, this includes the 'class clowns'. Unfortunately the support is lost as soon as they're over.
The first exam is on the 15th of May which is English. I'm only taking Intermediate 2 English this year which was a disappointment. 3 of the other subjects I'm taking are at Intermediate 2 level as well.
This school year has been the worst I've had in my life but it's changed me as a person. Throughout this school year I've been rejecting everything, trying to resent what I feel is wrong. I'm not a trouble maker it's just I have a bad attitude towards making choices at school. However, after the Easter holidays I have dramatically changed. I have this urge to do well now. I feel disappointed in myself that I am taking so many Int. 2's right now. I wish I was taking more Highers this year. I'm only taking 1 higher this year but I'm really going to try and nail it. This urge to do well seems to have come out of nowhere and I can truthfully say that I feel good now.

I feel like my friends are letting me down though. A story you'll never hear the end of from me is how I'm fed up with the place I'm living in right now. I still am. I'm fed up because I was the only one in the family who didn't want to move house. Since moving I had to lose the friends I grew up with all my life which made me depressed. Making new friends here isn't the same. Good honest friendship like the stuff in the film Stand By Me doesn't seem to be apparant here. That's what makes me sad. This effected me at school since I was depressed and didn't want to be there I was doing worse at school. I behave it's just the work was getting poorer. I now realise the mistakes I've done and what I can do to improve. I can do this, I can sort this mess out and it's going to get sorted out starting from now. One way or another I'm going to get out of here with the grades I need.

Well this doesn't matter anyway since noone reads this.

I think I'm posting too much.. Maybe I should just try to make at least 1 post every week but add more when I feel like it. Plus my posts are too long and boring (sorry I get carried away with writing). Yeah that's pretty much it for today.

OH and I added a Super Mario game at the side so the blog is actualy fun! Also Luigi is in it or as Luigi would say that's "That's Mama Luigi to you Mario".

Ok enjoy the game or just enjoy the music on it.

Since I have only had comments from 1 person, who is a friend of mine and told me he had a blog that inspired me, I think that I need to do something to make it more interactive. I've decided to not go on about life stories which will probably bore you to death! since I don't want this blog to be a reminder of stresses in life instead I want it to escape them now. I will say though when things are in the way for example me going away on a holiday or exams in the way. I will mention really BIG events that effect my life a lot by this I mean me leaving school or going for a gap year. You get the point.

Here I might talk about random films that other can discuss with and just do other random rambles. Videos I make will be put up in the blog from youtube. However there's a rumour of a judgement day coming to youtube (search "hulutube phasing you out of youtube") and if so, well I'll still be here.

Also I might add some challenges like I saw from another blog where the guy put up a film quote and the challenge was to guess what film it was from. If you like this idea from this other blooger and would like to try the challenge please comment. IMPORTANT FOR COMMENTERS: I was silly enough having the settings to not let anonymous people comment on but now all you anonymous can comment now so fire away.
I'll still make posts if noone comments but they will be less interesting if there continues to be no comments. So please give me some advice and this will get better.

Thank you.
p.s. I'm going to cry if I get no comments through next month :(

An exciting new competition from Empire!

My Dad subscribed to Empire magazine (the movie magazine) last year in November and I have to say I love thease magazinees. For this month though there was a special guest edited version by Steven Spielberg. Now this is the man who inspired me to pursue in becoming a film director one day.
I'm inspired by his films (I swear everytime I see a film of his I get the same feeling of excitement and joy which makes me feel like to make some) and I'm also inspired by a Lego set promoted by Steven Spielberg called "Lego Studios Movie Maker Set". This set included a webcam (that would stick to lego but had crappy quality but was still very handy) it also included a usual lego set with bits and bobs and a an editing program. These tools made me make a lot of strange films, which unfortunately I can't show you since some are lost in an old computer.
My point is Steven is truly my role model/ idol/ hero/ whatever...
In the new Empire magazine there was a competition to answer 20 questions related to Spielberg and his films (some more difficult than you expect, not all real easy) and if answered correctly and luckily from a million to 1 chance you win. You win a clapperboard used for the new Tintin movie signed by Steven Spielberg. There's only one available. I think I'll just enter this for the hell of it.
Also the actors for the new Tintin films have been announced.. which include the guy from Billy Elliot as Tintin, the guy who plays as Smeagol from LOTR as Captain Haddock (sorry I forgot the 2 names :P I'll try add them in later) and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Thompson and Thomson. In my opinion I wasn't sure who would be the voice actors and for this I knew they would need some randomers. These randomers are perfect for their roles since they're all very very talented.

Ok bored of typing. Till the next post folks!

A Present for you plus my ideas of the future

Well today was the first day back to school, since it's the end of the Easter holidays now, and what can I say... Well today wasn't too bad compared to other days. To be honest I'm real glad that it's almost the exams since it means it'll be the time that I'll get this all done. Then I just have another year then I will have my freedom.(of course I'm a bit nervous about getting everything sorted out for the exams)
Who knows what lies in the future. Maybe one day I will achieve my goal of becoming a film director but then I might choose another job or I'll end up being a bum. Anyway I'm hoping to go to Edinburgh for uni since it was where I was born and I always like going there. I'm not exactly sure why I like it a lot I just do okay?
Well that's my short message for today and I hope that someone does read this blog and if you do LEAVE A COMMENT! please. Seriously, it can say anything, just post a comment to let me know that there's at least 1 person who reads this.

Anyway the present...
Recently I got Stop Motion Pro 6.5 Education Edition which cost me a hefty £80. Now why am I telling you this? because I'm going to give you a look at the latest animation I've made for the sequel to Angry Janitor. It's only 15 seconds long so far but still 15 seconds! That's longer than the first one.
Enough nonsense, here you go:



Enjoy

What is going on now?

I have an announcement to make.
Ah, the streets have gone silent to listen to my speech.....wait there isn't even streets where I'm at right now?!?!?
Anyway I'm announcing something big about The Fedora Blog.
I have decided to try and make post here each day and hopefully make this blog have some meaning. I will be talking about my thoughts and feelings on anything I feel like talking about, whether it's me going on about a film or moaning on about my life. I hope that I do have some readers here and as always feel free to comment.
In case you're wondering what's going on right now I'll just say that it's almost May so the exams are coming up which means I must get a lot of things out of my way now and start nailing down with work. If I don't pass these exams I might be screwed for life which I don't want to happen.
I'm thinking of telling people on youtube about this and see if I can get some followers MY MINIONS!

yes, yes end of post.

We're now taking a commercial break.

We'll be right back after these messages. (we?! there's only 1 person involved with this blog! oh never mind just watch the damn advert)
